Morning everyone! I'm knee deep in new product orders from CHA...seriously, could anything be more exciting...so today I'm highlighting one of my favorite products; the Dylusions Journal. (Of course my journal and I are daydreaming about the new Dylusions Ink Sprays, stencils, and stamp sets that are on the way!)
I was having an email discussion with a customer about the journal last week; sharing the features that I love about the journal so instead of providing you all the technical details about the journal, I thought I'd share the things that I love about this great tool!
1) The size - One of the things that is a constant surprise is how different many products look when they arrive in person vs. looking at them from a computer screen. We tend to quickly glance over the specifics of a product and focus on the photo. I knew that this was a 9x12 journal but the size didn't really sink in until I was holding one in my hands. This baby is substantial! Which means you have a lot of space for creating! And there are so many pages to fill...Love it!
2) The paper weight - I adore the weight of the paper/cardstock in the journal. It's think enough that even when you saturate a page, nothing blends through. And Dyan alternated white and cream colored pages...fun! I would compare the pages to a manila file folder. Seriously sturdy! Perfect for those brand new ink sprays!
3) The pocket - At first I didn't do much with the pocket and kept my stencils in the packaging. And then...I just became sloppy and kept my stencils in a heap on my desk. (Oh darn, now you have a view into what my craft room looks like!) Then I finally utilitzed the pocket! Love that I can gather up all of my stencils and just toss them in the pocket...quick and easy clean up!
4) The cover - Made of a very heavy cardboard type material, the cover is sturdy enough for anything...paint, sprays, pastels, markers, or stamps. I started some Zentangles on my cover and the black and white is a fun contrast to all of the vivid colors on the inside.
5) The band - I love that the journal comes with an elastic band for around the middle...because after all those pages get filled with crafty goodness, your journal might need a little help staying closed! Kind of like eating a bit too much at the holidays... :-)
These are some of my favorite features on the Dylusions journal and here's Dyan to talk a little bit about her journal and to show off some of her artwork. Enjoy!

Oh, it looks so scrumptious - and for the first time, with the new colours (especially the white), I'm tempted by the Dylusions sprays... watch out credit card!
